Notes From the Pepperdine Lectures – Phil and Meredith McCullom

We don’t plant churches – we teach people to obey – church plants occur naturally when people obey.

When we obey, God gives us more opportunities to be obedient.

Making disciples isn’t an event so much as it is a way of life. If a person isn’t making disciples where they are right now, why should they go “plant” a church somewhere else and expect things to be different?

The Holy Spirit & Jesus plant or build churches – our job is simply to be gospel planters or Word of God planters – God will build His church, not us.

Make sure you’re planting the real seed – not something else. Your goal has to be for people to rely on the Lord – not for them to rely on you!

Phil & Meredith are simple church planters working in East Hollywood, CA. Airiel and I are hoping to have them up for a visit sometime.

I thought their comments on the church planting panel were biblical and very practical.

Thank you, brother, for the kind words. I’m at a church planting movements training right now in Dallas. Here is the link for anyone who woould like to watch it live. You can interact with me/us me online during the workshop and ask your own questions to get answered live during the debriefing sessions. You also can watch these recorded later.
